Update sort of... Got new cheapo tyres, they slide so much, its terrible. Wet day today, the front was sliding more than the back. :n: Painted brake calipers red haha. I'm so cool. :yes: And Chrome window strips, they're ALOT better than the old black ones. How she is: Quad lights are coming! :dance: EDIT: THe new tyres on the front look massive compared to the back, no idea why. =\

Haha, people suck :glare: Don't cut too much out or you'll definitely reget it. this thing is not a passenger car, EVERYONE hates the ride. My GF always sighs when I say I'm driving it to pick her up. :laff: Yea helps that my old man is a mechanic, he has 2 haha. It's a 'rally' car my brother painted black for no reason at all, I think he wants to get rid of it. Just there because there's no where else to put it. We were going to do stuff to it, but it has a shit tonne of rust.

Quick update on how she's going. ;] Getting some new tyres put on the front wheels, and change a drivers side wheels bearing that is well and truly destroyed. Gonna change them over on Friday. 4wd spec. Still looks tough on stocks. Got some Autosol out, to see if I could get some shine out. 5 min job, came out well, dunno how people get the rims super shiney, looks like i'll have to get some cutting cream out. Unless anyone knows a better way? (Yes I'm going to take the bolts out to clean it properly) Also bought some cheap quad lights form Malaysia ;] Need new lights though I think. Cheers guys.

Looks awesome man, Have to admit didn't liek the roof racks at first, Looks pretty sick. Although it would look way tougher if they were chrome :wink: New wheels suit it so well. was?

Hey, Yea people these days. Definitely needs a respray. Just fixed a few squeaks and some lenses in the past few weeks. haven't got much to do atm no funds etc. Got a donor ke70 slanty. Rescued a flip rear view mirror and some chrome window seals. Fixed tacho, interior light and generally cleaned up the interior a bit. At the moment my focus is on getting the 4ag up to scratch for the car. Started cleaning out the new dhla40 dell'ortos c/o Hendo. Didn't think they were photo worthy. haha. Need a few things for it atm. New gaskets for the carbs. Injector plugs Headlights Drivers side parker lense If I get any of these More progress to come ;]

didn't realise you were gonna respray it, wow. did you find many dings in it? looked pretty straight when i saw it haha.

Yea, I meant to post a few days before. bad luck I guess.

THIS. Come close to the north next time ;]

-sigh

Theres a flat front cream/yellow ke70 at campbellfield pick a part. dash and seats are missing, engine still there.

What time are they meeting there? Might follow them down. I have no idea where Mitchim is haha.

No kebab night? I'm disappointed. :rolls:

It's not hooked up to anything haha. And yea, it definitely is worth it. I know how to do it now ;] Yea I'll fix it at some point, doesnt look too bad in the sun or the rain, car is too shiny :cool:

wreckers? or you could make them up if you have one to copy

Looks like an odd spot for rust :hmm: Not a bad job though, looking forward to seeing it with new paint :cool:

Update: New door handle put in, old base snapped off. Fairly straight forward :wink: AE71 Pedal box in today! There is a link somewhere on how to do it, made it sound so easy... It is definitely not the case. Steve and I proceeded to take the dash out to get at the pedal box, after the door handle was successfully tried and tested. Brake booster nuts easy enough... Steering column, much the same. 4 screws behind the vent pipes, what a ridiculous place to put a set of screws, not to mention how the vent pipes were mounted... putting them back in was 3 times worse than taking them out. Probably hardest thing I've ever done, haha. After all the screws and bolts were taken out, the pedal box itself needed 2 people to "ease" it out from under wires and through dash and past the steering column. Cut through a jungle of insulation, and found about half a kg of sound deadener sitting in the old auto pedal box, glued to nothing. Decided it would be easier to take the pedals off the box before attempting to put it in.\ An hour or 2 spent measuring and making templates for the hydraulic clutch hole in the firewall, which were about 4mm out and needed to be filed etc. wasn't too bad. The interior light doesn't work anymore either. :hmm: Auto ke70 with a clutch :laff: Engine going in hopefully after school has finished... This ordeal is by far the hardest thing I expect to do on the corolla. Just glad it's done.

Yea thats what I meant, I just woke up haha. Cheers, thats exactly what I needed.

Hey guys, I'm going to drill holes for my booster today for my ae71 pedal box. I have tried looking for other thread started, without luck. Just looking for some reference photos of where the booster sits on the firewall and if I need to move anything. Only photos I'm going off. http://img472.imageshack.us/img472/7452/handbrake21gj.jpg http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/2614/tunnelfinished03.jpg Steps to take: take dash out. take brake booster off? take auto pedal box out. line up pedal box. drill out the 2 bolt holes and the booster hole. I'm not sure if there is anything else I need to do, so I'm going to attempt this after lunch If I can't get any photos of the holes, or where it sits, I'll just wing it, haha. Thanks guys.

wow nice pick up. Gonna paint it first? Whered you get it from?

So your saying we should be like females? lol

Haha good joke ;]

Bad luck mate, Next one will be even better :yes:

Some cockheads decided to work over some of my panels with a beer bottle while I was away... :bash: They're not huge dents in the panels, just lots of little dints now, all over it. Very discouraging. Need a new bonnet desperately, and fill holes on the roof down to the back quarters. Didn't feel like taking photos :( Needs a proper paint job -sigh... :sob: On the Brighter side of things, my new tail light rocked up finally :D

perfect :o make me some blue and white ones haha

me too.
